Changes in Stellarium 0.10.2 [2009-03-09]
Based on Qt 4.5.
Display constellations lines using nicely distorted arcs.
Fixed GUI problems when creating a new location.
Fixed the grid lines wrap around at the discontinuities in cylindrical and Mercator projection.
Hide the planet computation problems after year 80608.
Use the Qt raster engine by default. This fixes mac rendering bugs and speeds up greatly the GUI rendering.
Improved management of intersection of viewports with large FOV and projections with singularities.
Added Hammer-Aitoff projection allowing full sky overview.
Fixed various bugs.

Команда разработчиков с гордостью объявляет о выпуске 5 декабря версии 0.10.6 планетария Stellarium'а.

Этот релиз привносит некоторые интересные новые функции:

* Новая функция для установки ландшафтов из ZIP-архивов.
* Новый плагин: Редактор Солнечной системы.
* Новый плагин: Часовой пояс.
* Плагин Окуляры: настраиваемые горячие клавиши.
* Плагин Спутники: добавлен новый движок расчета редсказания орбиты спутника.
* Плагин Спутники: теперь можно обновлять TLE из локального файла.
* Плагин Управления телескопом: добавлено ручное переопределение равноденствия / эпохи.

Также было исправлено большое количество ошибок и произведены некоторые улучшения производительности.

Новые пользователи найдут, что некоторые плагины включены по умолчанию. На компьютерах с уже установленной предыдущей версий Stellarium'а будут использоваться старые настройки по умолчанию.

- Stellarium now takes into account the refraction of the atmosphere in the
visualization of the sky so far, it seems, is the only planetarium
simulates refraction in full.
- Redesigned search tool
- Oculars plugin rewritten & expanded. Includes binocular support, better
CCD support.
- New plugin: Historical supernovae; now you can watch the flashes of bright
13 of these stars (in the calculation were taken only by those whose peak
was brighter than 10m).
- Type of deep-sky objects on the "heaven" Stellarium's now possible to
determine visually, without isolating the corresponding object.
- Increase in the number of satellites of the solar system planets.
- Were fixed annoying bugs in plug-ins and most of them acquired the
improvements.
- By analogy with the description of the cultures of the sky began to speak
in Russian and English of descriptions of landscapes.
- And, finally, has been fixed quite a few bugs in the Stellarium, including
some from the list of "feature requests."
There have also been a large number of bug fixes and some performance
improvements.

New users will find that some plugins have been enabled by
default. Computers where an older version of Stellarium
has been run will continue with the old settings unless
defaults are reset.

For Mac users, if you are running an Intel CPU, and OS X 10.5 or later,
use the Intel binary. Otherwise use the Universal binary.

The main theme of this version seems to be localization:

• most of the text used by the default plug-ins is now translatable
• landscape names are now translatable
• country names are now translatable
